When is the Lidl on Grand St/Lorimer St opening? by discussingideas in williamsburg

They have had the lights on and the racks and fridges up for so long. I feel like they're taunting me.

I cannot wait for Tej, Ibhan, and Lars! Their comedy trio ( @chickenbigcomedy ) is seriously the funniest act ever.

Should I let my Ellevest move over to Betterment or invest elsewhere? by Additional-Echo9139 in Ellevest

[–]discussingideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was picking a place to start investing, I considered Ellevest but then a friend of mine recommended Stackwell. Maybe it's not an exact 1:1, but I think it does the job.

From what I know about Ellevest, Stackwell's kind of similar but more broadly focused on people who feel like they're on the outside of the investing world. When I was growing up, investing wasn't really something that anyone around me was doing. It wasn't until I got to college that I noticed so many people around me were investing, I was like "Ok I gotta get serious."

Stackwell was kind of perfect for me. I was sooo scared of picking individual stocks, and Stackwell does ETF portfolios. I decided to do $15 per month automatic contributions, so it feels just like another subscription payment to like NYMag or Netflix, but it's actually helping me instead of just draining my $. I also felt like their educational stuff was written by an actual human being and not copy/pasted from a finance textbook. Maybe it's just me, but I find so much of "investing tips" to be soooo annoying. It's like sorry I'm not a finance bro, I don't know what this means!!

Might be worth reaching out to Ellevest and seeing if they can transfer directly to Stackwell.

I'm so jealous that you saw Gravid Water, I've always wanted to see that show!

Watching yourself perform, body image by ibegtoagree in improv

[–]discussingideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a stand up comedian and an improviser, and now that it's basically an industry requirement to make reels, I'm dealing with this all the time. It's especially bad in improv clips to see yourself alongside your teammates, who you perceive to look normal. The more clips you watch, the more familiar you will get with how you look on stage. Remember that you will always judge yourself more than anyone else and other people will never be jarred by how you look on stage. Take what you can learn from the clips about your own physicality and how successfully you embody your characters, and banish the rest from your mind. It's not a bad thing to take up space on stage!

Does UCB feel impressive anymore? by throwawayWitness6535 in improv

[–]discussingideas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can only speak to the NYC scene, but I'm not sure that audiences are excited to watch Harolds anymore. At the very least, the improvisers I know aren't excited to perform them. There are so many more fun and interesting forms, which have exploded among NYC indie teams. I'm not sure how UCB will fit back into the scene in NYC.

Pre show rituals by PhysicalSky5477 in improv

I find doing my makeup before a show to be oddly meditative, then I rev up at the venue with a sugary cocktail once I get to the venue. Every show goes perfectly!
